Italian - Etymology 2

PRONOUN
LE
* (dative) her, to her
_Le ho detto che la amo_ — I told her that I love her.
_Le ho dato la lettera_ — I gave her the letter _or_ I gave the letter to her
* (dative) you, to you
_Le ho detto il mio nome_ — I told you my name
_Le ho dato la lettera_ — I gave you the letter _or_ I gave the letter to you
USAGE NOTES
* When LE is used in the formal sense, it is usually capitalised as LE to avoid confusion with LE meaning "her".

Lojban - Cmavo

LE (article)
* returns a definite instance of an x_1_ sumti of the following word, which would otherwise function as a selbri; thus, "LE" and the word which follows it together act like a sumti
_LE tavla cu sutra tavla_
the talker talks fast
_la suzyn. pu dunda ti'u li rere boi pa LE re cukta mi_
Susan gave, at 10 PM, one of the two books to me.
USAGE NOTES
* A sumti phrase begun with _le_ ends with the cmavo _ku_ unless no ambiguity results.
* An "inner quantifier" indicates number of members in the group (which is the subject of the predication), whereas an "outer quantifier" indicates a portion of that number, so "le ci nanmu" would mean "the three men" whereas "ci le nanmu" would mean "three of the men", "ci le mu nanmu" would mean "three of the five men"; so, as a rough analogy, _le_ could be said to act as a divider (whereas _lo_ acts as a multiplier, according to the _xorlo_ proposal).

* To you, for you (formal; dative of _usted_)

USAGE NOTES
Though LE is usually the indirect object form of the direct object pronouns _lo_/_la_, it is often used as a direct object as well...e.g., «_yo le creo_» (I believe him/her); «_le gusta..._» (he/she likes...). This phenomenon is known as _leísmo_.
Note that when a sentence contains a noun that is an indirect object, a REDUNDANT indirect object _LE_ (or its plural form _LES_) is also required; for example «_yo LE daré el libro a JORGE_» (literally, _"I will give him the book to Jorge"_), where him/le corresponds to Jorge. This type of pronoun is obligatory. Both of the object pronouns _le_ and _les_ become _se_ when followed by the direct object _lo_/_la_/_los_/_las_; hence, «_yo se lo daré_» (I will give it/them to him/her/them) rather than «_yo le/les lo daré_».
